Many thanks to the contributors for their thorough and thoughtful commentaries on my book, Perceiving Reality, and for the opportu-nity they gave me to clarify and elaborate my views. In what follows, I will do my best to address their objections and concerns, many of which move the
discussion forward in significant ways. I shall respond to each contributor in alphabetical order. (Unless otherwise noted, all parenthetical page references are to Perceiving Reality.)
